I'm trying to convert a string to GUID with sscanf:

GUID guid;
sscanf( "11111111-2222-3333-4455-667788995511", "%08x-%04x-%04x-%02x%02x-%02x%02x%02x%02x%02x%02x",
        &guid.Data1, &guid.Data2, &guid.Data3,
        &guid.Data4[0], &guid.Data4[1], &guid.Data4[2],
        &guid.Data4[3], &guid.Data4[4], &guid.Data4[5],
        &guid.Data4[6], &guid.Data4[7]);

However, in runtime, it fails and exits with "Error: Command failed". Why? How to fix it?

I do not want to compile with /clr so cannot use System.

When I compile a simple Hello World! program that uses the sscanf function on my local Debian lenny x64, it works. But when I upload the same program to the server running CentOS x86, it will not work. If I do not use sscanf, then the program works on both computers. gcc -std=c99 -O2 -pipe -m32 If… >>> More

I have a function that makes a series of calls to sscanf() and then, after each, updates the string pointer to point to the first character not consumed by sscanf() like so: if(sscanf(str, "%d%n", &fooInt, &length) != 1) { // error handling } str+=length; In order to clean it up and… >>> More

reading a string with spaces with sscanf

For a project I'm trying to read an int and a string from a string. The only problem is sscanf appears to break reading an %s when it sees a space. Is there anyway to get around this limitation? Here's an example of what I'm trying to do: #include<stdio.h> #include<stdlib.h> int main(int… >>> More

This is a simple problem, but I can't see it: char *s = "f 8.649292" ; double d ; sscanf( s, "f %f", &d ) ; printf( "d is %f\n", d ) ; Why is d not containing the double value 8.649292? >>> More
